The Gnat and the Bull (Greek Folk Tale)

Folk Tales, Greek Folk Tales4480


A Gnat alighted on one of the horns of a Bull, and remained sitting there for a considerable time. When it had rested sufficiently and was about to fly away, it said to the Bull, “Do you mind if I go now?” The Bull merely raised his eyes and remarked, without interest, “It”s all one to me; I didn”t notice when you came, and I shan”t know when you go away.”
